You’re tired and just want to put your feet up for 5 minutes but…
–the dog wants to go out
–your kids need help with their homework
–dinner still has to be made (and by guess who)

And your list probably goes on from here, right?

Lots of us turn to feng shui to help us create a soothing home environment so that at the end of the day we can come home and relax.

But if your outer world is still making demands on you when you get home from work how are you supposed to unwind?

Certainly you could go to yoga or do meditation before coming home to center yourself. But do you have an extra hour to do that after work and still get home in time to do everything else that needs to be done?

Most people don’t and you probably don’t either.

On the surface, it would seem that the feng shui isn’t working the way it’s supposed to.

The truth is that feng shui is only part of the key to having tranquility in your life. It’s the environmental piece and it’s important.

The other important piece is how you feel inside — or your inner feng shui if you will.

When your environment is calm and supportive and you feel peaceful and centered inside you’ll see that it really doesn’t matter what else is going on outside of you … because you can handle it with ease and grace.

Spring is here and the Flying Stars will be moving to their new directions on April 4, 2012. Here are the possibilities that lie ahead for the month:

April 2012 Flying Stars outlook

Southeast – This is a tough direction for people who have chronic health problems. It’s also a tough direction for banks which means that more banks are or will be in financial trouble we may not hear about it until the summer months, though.

South – If you travel for a living this is a great direction for you. The Stars here can also bring about unwanted affairs so be careful if you’re in a serious relationship that you don’t mess it up by doing something you’ll regret later.

Southwest – This direction and the NW are really bad for relationships this month, especially marital or other committed relationships, because the Stars here attract disagreements, petty jealousy and gossip. This is a good month to follow the advice that says ‘if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” This is also an area you’ll want to place your April Flying Star feng shui remedy.

East – This is a great direction for students, writers and other creative types. You may get inspired by family members, too.

Center – This area is prone to causing accidents and headaches. It can also provoke arguments out of the blue.

West – This direction can be hard on your health this month but it can also bring about change that produces favorable long-term results. Stimulate this area with your feng shui activation for the month to bring out the best possible outcome.

Northwest – As I mentioned before, this direction is energetically ripe for creating disagreements between married and committed couples. Try to avoid this area if your relationship is rocky because this energy along with the Stars in the SW could tip you over the edge. It is a good direction for travel this month, though, especially if you’re traveling to a foreign country.

North – This area is beneficial if you’re in real estate, landscaping, construction, geology or other earth related fields.

Northeast – This is a must activate area this month because a double Windfall Star sits here. This Star combination can bring sudden financial luck or an opportunity out of the blue. Definitely put your Flying Star activation here to stimulate the best energy possible.
